I've often wondered if my use of lunch and dinner rather than dinner/ tea is not so much the Formby upbringing, as the Irish parents.

Well, I say 'often wondered'. Just now actually. Never bothered asking them.

Irish people: what is the meal you eat at 6-7pm

Dinner during the week. Tea at the weekend (unless you're eating out, then it's dinner again).
 
It's dinner. That's why schools have dinner ladies.
If you have a sandwich between 1-2 pm do you still call that dinner?
I would have said the meal itself rather than the time it is eaten at is used to describe it over here in Ireland.
The meal in the middle of the day can be described as dinner just as easily as the one in the evening.
It simply depends on what you eat.
 
What is this ?

Dinner is late afternoon /evening and lunch is late morning /early afternoon.
 
Nah, if youre going out for dinner, then you are going out for food in the evening .

If youre going out for lunch then youre eating around midday

Tea is just interchangeable with dinner..

Same applies at home and wherever else
 
Anyone here say "supper"?

I still love the cringe my brother makes whenever his wife says that word. Mind you, she's dead posh.

That's a good point. You don't book a table at 8pm in a restaurant for "tea"
 
It's lunch and dinner............and while we're at it: I've had it with you English people using the word Pudding as the collective noun for desserts, a pudding is a singular type of dessert and the word does not represent every dessert.

While we're at it what are the point in Yorkshire puddings? Are they not just pastry? I don't get it. They're fine, but kind of unnecessary in my opinion.

Hahaha. I always make a point of point of saying "I'd like to book a table for tea, at 7pm please" just to wind up Bex, she's a Crosby wool so says it wrong. Restaurants in Liverpool never even flinch, so must actually be used to it.

Not that I ever book anywhere posh like, I imagine they'd be cuntish about correcting me.

Supper is a snack, like cheese & crackers, Malt loaf or a piece of toast, just before bed.

Worst possible time to eat like, so we try to avoid in our house, but a boss tip if your kids don't sleep through is anything real with real butter & raisins before bed. Promotes sleep way better than warm milk due to the way the chemicals in both effect the brain. Hence why Malt loaf with butter on before bed is a good idea.

They're the best part of the roast!

Have to be done properly though, & at least being enough to cover the majority of your plate, not these cunty little ones people seem to favour now.

To be fair I think I've only had them in Ireland and I'd imagine they're way better in the UK, but I just don't get it.
 
The only good thing about Yorkshire puddings is you can trade them for better parts of the roast with the fools that think they're not just tasteless bits of fried batter.

I think we should take this into the Chat Forum before it all kicks off and gets nasty

The elevated status of this bland piece of pastry on the British menu is laughable.
 
Jesus people not knowing what dinner is followed by the mockery of the Yorkshire pudding .....

I'm ducking out

Tea
 
Its interchangeable depending on what you've already eaten that day.

If I've had lunch during the day (sandwich, soup. roll, etc) then I'll usually have dinner in the evening/after work and call it 'dinner'. I grew up on a farm so dinner was regularly eaten around 1-2 pm and it was called dinner. If that was the case, then you'd have your 'tea' in the evening.
